This is an exploration of the data. What I did here was visualize the
data in a cartesian coordinate system, with research and primary care
rank being on the x and y systems. This helped me visualize how the two
relate.
With this, I wanted to see which of the schools was “closest” to 0,
as that would be the one that is absolute best. I took the square root
of each the research rank squared and primary care rank squared.
According to pygathorean theory, this will give the length of the line
from “0,0”. The smaller the number, the better the combined ranks.
According to this, Cal San Fran is the best school,
according to the combination of research and primary care.
Research and Temple Distance
Ultimately, I love research and I love the temple. I think that these
are the two biggest things I hope to consider. Let’s explore the two
together, similar to the last one.
This plot explores research rank and distance to the temple, with the
closer one is to zero being the better result. I need to run a similar
square root assessment as before.

## 50 Brown University 66.887966
Awesome, another analysis down. With this, we can be assured that
NYU is the best for research and temple distance.
Research and MCAT Score
I am sure there is, but my next thought was what the correlation
looked like between research rank and MCAT score. A simple plot should
show this information to me.
Alright, based on that alone, the regression seems super strong. I
don’t need much more statistical analysis. This just shows that if I
want to go to a high level research university, I have to have a great
MCAT score.
Research and Total Admittance
This plot is hard to read. Let’s look at it graphically.

## 50 Dartmouth 53.86577
Well cool. Washington has the highest number of
admittance versus research rank in the nation.
Research and MD/PhD
Now we copy almost exactly what we studied before, except this time,
we are only looking into the number of MD/PhD students admitted versus
their MCAT score.
And a table to understand this better:

As Harvard is the closest one to zero, it has the
highest number of MD/PhD students according to the highest research
rank.
Primary Care and Temple Distance
This plot explores primary care rank and distance to the temple, with
the closer one is to zero being the better result. I need to run a
similar square root assessment as before.

Awesome, another analysis down. With this, we can be assured that
Oregon is the best school regarding only Primary care
Rank and Temple Distance.
Primary care and MCAT Score
My next thought was what the correlation looked like between primary
care rank and MCAT score. A simple plot should show this information to
me.
Alright, based on that alone, there is not much correlation.
Interesting, as you would think that higher ranked hospitals for care
would correlate to higher MCAT scores.
